President Trump vowed Monday to catch the “leaker” who revealed that US forces were not immediately able to rescue the second F-15 pilot shot down over Iran — as he retold of the wounded airman’s dramatic weekend rescue.
“We’re looking very hard to find that leaker,” Trump said in the White House briefing room. “They basically said that we have one and there’s somebody missing. Well, [Iran] didn’t know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.”
“We think we’ll be able to find it out, because we’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, ‘national security, give it up or go to jail,’” Trump said.
“It became a much more difficult operation because a leaker leaked that we have one, we’ve rescued one, but there’s another one out there that we’re trying to get,” he added.
“The country, Iran, put out a major notice… offering a very big award for anybody that captures the pilot… We have to find that leaker, because that’s a sick person. Probably didn’t realize the extent of how bad it was. I can’t imagine that the person did, but we’re going to find out. It’s national security, and the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn’t say.”

If true, that will end any investigation into the leak, guaranteed.
IMO neither the media nor internet commandos care about the consequences of divulging potentially sensitive information. They are just interested in getting the scoop or hits.

At one time the media was pro-American and had common sense.
He can ramble all he wants as far as I'm concerned. He can talk without a teleprompter, he doesn't garble his speech, and you can understand what he says, he doesn't wander off by himself, and he doesn't crap his pants.
Probably one of traitor Joe Kent’s proteges.
You feel better now? So many of you on this site now.
Interesting. Thanks. Reporter is backtracking now. I wonder what Israeli law has to say.

I also don’t join in when people gang up on him.
